Description

物件影像撷取装置以及撷取指示物的物件影像的方法Object image capturing device and method for capturing object image of pointer

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及一种光学触控技术,且特别是涉及一种物件影像撷取装置以及撷取指示物的物件影像的方法。The present invention relates to an optical touch technology, and in particular to an object image capture device and a method for capturing an object image of a pointer.

背景技术 Background technique

电阻式触控屏幕可以说是目前使用量最多的一种触控技术,其驱动原理是利用电压降的方式来计算坐标,亦即,在多条X轴线和Y轴在线各施加一电压来驱动。当电阻式触控屏幕被触碰到时,由于回路被导通,而会产生电压降,而控制器则会算出电压降所占的比例然后更进一步算出坐标轴。Resistive touch screen can be said to be the most widely used touch technology at present. Its driving principle is to use the method of voltage drop to calculate the coordinates, that is, to apply a voltage to each of the multiple X-axis and Y-axis lines to drive . When the resistive touch screen is touched, a voltage drop will occur due to the conduction of the circuit, and the controller will calculate the proportion of the voltage drop and then further calculate the coordinate axis.

图1为现有的一种光学触控系统的立体图。请参照图1,此光学触控系统100包括有物件影像撷取装置101、面板104、反光元件112~116。其中,物件影像撷取装置101又包括有影像感测装置106与108、处理电路110。影像感测装置106与108皆用以感测前述面板104上的触控表面118的影像。处理电路110电耦接影像感测装置106与108,以接收这两个影像感测装置所感测到的影像。在此例中,触控表面118的形状为四边形,较佳为矩形。至于上述这些反光元件则皆用以将光线反射至触控表面118,但都不会形成触控表面118的镜像。当指示物102(pointer)邻近触控表面118时,处理电路110便依据两个影像感测装置所感测到的影像来取得指示物102的位置。FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional optical touch system. Please refer to FIG. 1 , the optical touch system 100 includes an object image capture device 101 , a panel 104 , and reflective elements 112 - 116 . Wherein, the object image capturing device 101 further includes image sensing devices 106 and 108 , and a processing circuit 110 . Both the image sensing devices 106 and 108 are used for sensing the image of the touch surface 118 on the aforementioned panel 104 . The processing circuit 110 is electrically coupled to the image sensing devices 106 and 108 to receive images sensed by the two image sensing devices. In this example, the shape of the touch surface 118 is quadrangular, preferably rectangular. As for the reflective elements mentioned above, they are all used to reflect light to the touch surface 118 , but none of them will form a mirror image of the touch surface 118 . When the pointer 102 is close to the touch surface 118 , the processing circuit 110 obtains the position of the pointer 102 according to the images sensed by the two image sensing devices.

图2为光学触控系统100进行单点触控的说明图。在图2中,标号与图1中的标号相同者表示为相同构件。如图2所示,影像感测装置106能沿着感测路线202感测到指示物102,而影像感测装置108则能沿着感测路线204感测到指示物102。因此,只要处理电路110能依据影像感测装置106所感测到的影像来取得感测路线202的直线方程式,并依据影像感测装置108所感测到的影像来取得感测路线204的直线方程式,那么处理电路110就能计算出感测路线202与204的交点,以便依据此交点来进一步计算出指示物102的坐标。FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of a single-point touch performed by the optical touch system 100 . In FIG. 2, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 denote the same components. As shown in FIG. 2 , the image sensing device 106 can sense the pointer 102 along the sensing route 202 , and the image sensing device 108 can sense the pointer 102 along the sensing route 204 . Therefore, as long as the processing circuit 110 can obtain the linear equation of the sensing route 202 according to the image sensed by the image sensing device 106, and obtain the linear equation of the sensing route 204 according to the image sensed by the image sensing device 108, Then the processing circuit 110 can calculate the intersection of the sensing routes 202 and 204 , so as to further calculate the coordinates of the pointer 102 according to the intersection.

处理电路110在计算指示物102的坐标之前,必须先从影像感测装置106所感测到的影像来找出指示物102在影像感测装置106的影像感测窗中的成像范围(详后述),也就是处理电路110必须先从影像感测装置106所感测到的影像来撷取指示物102的物件影像,以便进一步取得感测路线202的直线方程式,同时,处理电路110也必须从影像感测装置108所感测到的影像来找出指示物102在影像感测装置108的影像感测窗中的成像范围(详后述),也就是处理电路110必须先从影像感测装置108所感测到的影像来撷取指示物102的物件影像,以便进一步取得感测路线204的直线方程式。以下将对此作进一步说明。Before calculating the coordinates of the pointer 102, the processing circuit 110 must first find out the imaging range of the pointer 102 in the image sensing window of the image sensing device 106 from the image sensed by the image sensing device 106 (details will be described later). ), that is, the processing circuit 110 must first capture the object image of the indicator 102 from the image sensed by the image sensing device 106, so as to further obtain the linear equation of the sensing route 202, and at the same time, the processing circuit 110 must also obtain the image from the image The image sensed by the sensing device 108 is used to find the imaging range of the indicator 102 in the image sensing window of the image sensing device 108 (described in detail later), that is, the processing circuit 110 must first obtain the image sensed by the image sensing device 108. The detected image is used to capture the object image of the pointer 102 so as to further obtain the linear equation of the sensing route 204 . This will be further explained below.

以处理电路110与影像感测装置106之间的操作为例,在指示物102邻近触控表面118之前,处理电路110会先通过影像感测装置106感测触控表面118,以便取得一个不含指示物102的物件影像的影像,并将此影像当作一背景影像。然后,处理电路110会去取得背景影像的每行像素中N个最亮像素的亮度值,并计算每行像素中选定的N个最亮像素的亮度平均值或亮度总值,进而形成一亮度分布图,其中N为自然数。此亮度分布图是以一曲线的方式呈现,这是因为背景亮度通常并非均匀的关系。图3即是从一背景影像取得的亮度分布图的示范例,此图所示曲线中的任一点皆表示为背景影像的行像素的亮度值。Taking the operation between the processing circuit 110 and the image sensing device 106 as an example, before the pointer 102 approaches the touch surface 118, the processing circuit 110 will first sense the touch surface 118 through the image sensing device 106 to obtain a different An image of the object image containing the pointer 102 is used as a background image. Then, the processing circuit 110 will obtain the luminance values of the N brightest pixels in each row of pixels of the background image, and calculate the average brightness or total brightness value of the selected N brightest pixels in each row of pixels, and then form a Brightness distribution map, where N is a natural number. The luminance distribution graph is presented as a curve, because the background luminance is usually not in a uniform relationship. FIG. 3 is an example of a brightness distribution diagram obtained from a background image, and any point in the curve shown in this figure represents the brightness value of a row pixel of the background image.

接着,当指示物102邻近触控表面118时,处理电路110便可通过影像感测装置106取得含有指示物102的物件影像的影像。图4即为影像感测装置所感测到的影像的示意图。在图4中,标示400表示为影像感测装置106的影像感测窗(image sensing window)。而标示402所指的白色区域即是借助反光元件114与116所反射的光线,而在影像上形成亮度较高的亮区(bright zone),此亮区402就是主要的感测区。至于标示404就是指示物102所造成的暗纹,此即物件影像。Then, when the pointer 102 is close to the touch surface 118 , the processing circuit 110 can obtain an image of the object image containing the pointer 102 through the image sensing device 106 . FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an image sensed by an image sensing device. In FIG. 4 , a mark 400 represents an image sensing window of the image sensing device 106 . The white area indicated by the mark 402 is the light reflected by the reflective elements 114 and 116 to form a bright zone with higher brightness on the image, and the bright zone 402 is the main sensing zone. As for the mark 404, it is the dark lines caused by the indicator 102, which is the object image.

在取得含有指示物102的物件影像的影像后,处理电路110就会将此影像当作一感测影像,并采用与取得前述亮度分布图相同的方法来取得此感测影像的亮度分布图。图5即绘有所述的另一亮度分布图。在图5中,标示502所指的曲线即为从所述感测影像取得的亮度分布图,此曲线中的任一点皆表示为感测影像的行像素的亮度值。而标示W1所指的范围即是指示物102遮蔽光线所造成的低亮度范围。至于标示504所指的曲线则是一门槛值,此门槛值504由处理电路110从上述背景影像所取得的亮度分布图(如图3所示)依照一预设百分比来取得。After acquiring the image of the object including the pointer 102 , the processing circuit 110 regards the image as a sensing image, and obtains the brightness distribution map of the sensing image using the same method as obtaining the aforementioned brightness distribution map. FIG. 5 is another luminance distribution diagram described above. In FIG. 5 , the curve indicated by the mark 502 is the luminance distribution diagram obtained from the sensing image, and any point in this curve represents the luminance value of a row pixel of the sensing image. The range indicated by the mark W 1 is the low brightness range caused by the indicator 102 shielding the light. The curve indicated by the mark 504 is a threshold value, and the threshold value 504 is obtained by the processing circuit 110 from the luminance distribution map (as shown in FIG. 3 ) obtained from the above-mentioned background image according to a preset percentage.

请继续参照图5,在取得亮度分布图502后,处理电路110便将亮度分布图502与门槛值504进行比较,以便将亮度分布图502中亮度值低于门槛值504的部分(在标示W1所指的范围内)所对应的行像素的分布范围,视为指示物102在影像感测装置106之影像感测窗400中的成像范围。换句话说,处理电路110就是撷取此成像范围W1的影像信息来作为指示物102的物件影像。如此,处理电路110便能依据此成像范围来进一步取得感测路线202的直线方程式,例如计算出此成像范围的重心来进一步取得感测路线202的直线方程式。同理,处理电路110与影像感测装置108之间的操作也可按照处理电路110与影像感测装置106之间的操作来进行,以进一步取得感测路线204的直线方程式。Please continue to refer to FIG. 5 , after obtaining the brightness distribution diagram 502, the processing circuit 110 compares the brightness distribution diagram 502 with the threshold value 504, so as to identify the part of the brightness distribution diagram 502 whose brightness value is lower than the threshold value 504 (indicated by W 1 ) corresponds to the distribution range of the row of pixels, which is regarded as the imaging range of the pointer 102 in the image sensing window 400 of the image sensing device 106 . In other words, the processing circuit 110 captures the image information of the imaging range W1 as the object image of the pointer 102 . In this way, the processing circuit 110 can further obtain the linear equation of the sensing route 202 according to the imaging range, for example, calculate the center of gravity of the imaging range to further obtain the linear equation of the sensing route 202 . Similarly, the operation between the processing circuit 110 and the image sensing device 108 can also be performed according to the operation between the processing circuit 110 and the image sensing device 106 to further obtain the linear equation of the sensing route 204 .

然而,光学触控系统100在进行多点触控的时候却经常出现问题。以处理电路110与影像感测装置106之间的操作来举例说明,当有两个指示物102触碰触控表面118,且这两个指示物102又相当靠近彼此的时候,那么处理电路110就会从感测影像取得一亮度分布图。图6即绘有所述的亮度分布图。在图6中,标示602所指的曲线即为从所述感测影像取得的亮度分布图,此曲线中的任一点皆表示为感测影像的行像素的亮度值。而标示W2所指的范围即是这两个指示物102遮蔽光线所造成的低亮度范围。至于标示504所指的曲线则是一门槛值,此门槛值504由处理电路110从一背景影像所取得的亮度分布图依照一预设百分比来取得。However, the optical touch system 100 often has problems when performing multi-touch. Taking the operation between the processing circuit 110 and the image sensing device 106 as an example, when two pointers 102 touch the touch surface 118, and the two pointers 102 are very close to each other, then the processing circuit 110 A luminance distribution map is obtained from the sensing image. FIG. 6 is a drawing of the luminance distribution diagram. In FIG. 6 , the curve indicated by the mark 602 is the luminance distribution diagram obtained from the sensing image, and any point in this curve represents the luminance value of a row pixel of the sensing image. The range indicated by the mark W2 is the low brightness range caused by the two indicators 102 blocking the light. The curve indicated by the mark 504 is a threshold value, and the threshold value 504 is obtained by the processing circuit 110 according to a preset percentage from a luminance distribution map obtained from a background image.

由图6所示可知,当门槛值504设定得太高的时候,处理电路110就会将这两个指示物102视为是同一个指示物。因此,处理电路110无法进一步计算出这两个指示物102的坐标。As can be seen from FIG. 6 , when the threshold value 504 is set too high, the processing circuit 110 will regard the two pointers 102 as the same pointer. Therefore, the processing circuit 110 cannot further calculate the coordinates of the two pointers 102 .

The optical touch system includes a touch surface and an image sensing device. Wherein, the image sensing device is used for sensing the image of the touch surface. The method includes the following steps: when an indicator is close to the touch surface, using an image sensing device to obtain a sensing image, and comparing information in the sensing image with a first threshold value to find a Comparing the range; generating a second threshold value according to the image information in the comparison range; and comparing the image information in the comparison range with the second threshold value to extract the object image of the indicator.

本发明的光学触控系统乃是利用两个不同的门槛值来找出多个指示物的物件影像(即实际成像范围)。在实际的操作方式中,处理电路先利用第一门槛值来找出多个指示物在影像感测装置的影像感测窗中的概略成像范围,此概略成像范围即是需要进一步进行比对的比对范围。接着,处理电路再根据前述比对范围中的影像信息产生第二门槛值,以便比较前述比对范围中的影像信息与第二门槛值,进而撷取出这些指示物的物件影像,也就是找出这些指示物的实际成像范围。如此一来,便可依据实际成像范围进一步计算上述这些指示物的坐标。The optical touch system of the present invention uses two different threshold values to find object images (ie, actual imaging ranges) of multiple pointers. In the actual operation mode, the processing circuit first uses the first threshold value to find out the approximate imaging ranges of the multiple pointers in the image sensing window of the image sensing device, and the approximate imaging ranges need to be further compared. Compare range. Then, the processing circuit generates a second threshold value according to the image information in the comparison range, so as to compare the image information in the comparison range with the second threshold value, and then extract the object images of these indicators, that is, find out The actual imaging range of these indicators. In this way, the coordinates of the above indicators can be further calculated according to the actual imaging range.

因此,只要上述第二门槛值的大小设计适当,那么处理电路就能准确地找出这些指示物的物件影像,进而计算出这些指示物的实际坐标。Therefore, as long as the size of the second threshold value is properly designed, the processing circuit can accurately find the object images of these indicators, and then calculate the actual coordinates of these indicators.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

本发明的光学触控系统所采用的硬件架构与图1所示光学触控系统所采用的硬件架构相同,二者的不同之处,在于本发明的光学触控系统的物件影像撷取装置是采用另一种方式来进行操作。因此,以下关于本发明的光学触控系统的操作方式将沿用图1所示的硬件架构来进行说明。The hardware architecture adopted by the optical touch system of the present invention is the same as the hardware architecture adopted by the optical touch system shown in FIG. Do it another way. Therefore, the operation of the optical touch system of the present invention will be described below using the hardware architecture shown in FIG. 1 .

请参照图1。如图1所示,触控表面118具有依序连接的四个边(未标示),而影像感测装置106与108设置在触控表面118的两个不同角落,且皆位于触控表面118的同一边。如此,影像感测装置106与108就可以从两个不同的角度来感测触控表面118的影像。Please refer to Figure 1. As shown in FIG. 1 , the touch surface 118 has four sides connected in sequence (not shown), and the image sensing devices 106 and 108 are disposed on two different corners of the touch surface 118 , and both are located on the touch surface 118 on the same side. In this way, the image sensing devices 106 and 108 can sense images of the touch surface 118 from two different angles.

接下来,将说明本发明的光学触控系统的多点触控方式。以处理电路110与影像感测装置106之间的操作为例,在还没有任何指示物102邻近触控表面118之前,处理电路110会先通过影像感测装置106感测触控表面118,以便取得不含指示物102的物件影像的影像,并将此影像作为一背景影像。然后,处理电路110会去取得背景影像的每行像素中N个最亮像素的亮度值,并计算每行像素中选定的N个最亮像素的亮度平均值或亮度总值,进而形成一亮度分布图,其中N为自然数。Next, the multi-touch method of the optical touch system of the present invention will be described. Taking the operation between the processing circuit 110 and the image sensing device 106 as an example, the processing circuit 110 will first sense the touch surface 118 through the image sensing device 106 before any indicator 102 approaches the touch surface 118, so that An image of the object image without the pointer 102 is obtained, and this image is used as a background image. Then, the processing circuit 110 will obtain the luminance values of the N brightest pixels in each row of pixels of the background image, and calculate the average brightness or total brightness value of the selected N brightest pixels in each row of pixels, and then form a Brightness distribution map, where N is a natural number.

接着,当有两个指示物102邻近触控表面118,且这两个指示物102又相当靠近彼此的时候,处理电路110便可通过影像感测装置106取得含有这两个指示物102的物件影像的影像。在取得含有这两个指示物102的物件影像的影像后,处理电路110就会将此影像当作一感测影像。当然,此感测影像为包含红外线亮度信息的感测影像。然后,处理电路110会将此感测影像中的全部或部分信息与第一门槛值进行比较,以找出这两个指示物102的影像感测装置106的影像感测窗中的概略成像范围,而此概略成像范围即是需要进一步进行比对的比对范围(详后述)。在此例中,所述的全部或部分信息是处理电路110取得上述感测影像的每行像素中N个最亮像素的亮度值,并采用与取得前述亮度分布图相同的方法所取得的另一亮度分布图。而所述的门槛值由处理电路110从上述背景影像所取得的亮度分布图依照一预设百分比而取得。图7即绘有所述的另一亮度分布图。Then, when there are two pointers 102 adjacent to the touch surface 118 and the two pointers 102 are quite close to each other, the processing circuit 110 can obtain the object containing the two pointers 102 through the image sensing device 106 Image of image. After acquiring the image of the object image including the two pointers 102, the processing circuit 110 regards the image as a sensing image. Certainly, the sensing image is a sensing image including infrared luminance information. Then, the processing circuit 110 compares all or part of the information in the sensing image with the first threshold value to find out the approximate imaging ranges in the image sensing windows of the image sensing device 106 of the two pointers 102 , and this approximate imaging range is the comparison range that needs to be further compared (details will be described later). In this example, all or part of the information is obtained by the processing circuit 110 by obtaining the luminance values of the N brightest pixels in each row of pixels of the above-mentioned sensed image, and using the same method as obtaining the above-mentioned luminance distribution diagram. A luminance distribution map. The threshold value is obtained by the processing circuit 110 according to a preset percentage from the luminance distribution map obtained from the background image. FIG. 7 is another luminance distribution diagram described above.

在图7中,标示602所指的曲线即为从所述感测影像取得的亮度分布图,此曲线中的任一点皆表示为感测影像的行像素的亮度值。而标示W2所指的范围即是这两个指示物102遮蔽光线所造成的低亮度范围。标示504所指的曲线则是第一门槛值。至于标示702所指虚线的作用将详述于后。由图7可知,W2所指的低亮度范围就是这两个指示物102在影像感测装置106的影像感测窗中的概略成像范围,也就是需要进一步进行比对的比对范围。而此比对范围就是感测影像的亮度分布图中亮度值低于第一门槛值的所有行信息所涵盖的范围。换句话说,处理电路110就是将亮度分布图602与第一门槛值504进行比较,并将亮度分布图602中亮度值低于第一门槛值504的部分(在标示W2所指的范围内)所对应的行像素的分布范围,视为这两个指示物102在影像感测装置106的影像感测窗400中的第一成像范围。而此第一成像范围就是这两个指示物102的概略成像范围。In FIG. 7 , the curve indicated by the mark 602 is the luminance distribution diagram obtained from the sensing image, and any point in this curve represents the luminance value of a row pixel of the sensing image. The range indicated by the mark W 2 is the low brightness range caused by the two indicators 102 blocking the light. The curve indicated by mark 504 is the first threshold. The function of the dotted line indicated by the mark 702 will be described in detail later. It can be seen from FIG. 7 that the low brightness range indicated by W 2 is the approximate imaging range of the two indicators 102 in the image sensing window of the image sensing device 106 , that is, the comparison range that needs to be further compared. The comparison range is the range covered by all row information in the brightness distribution map of the sensed image whose brightness value is lower than the first threshold value. In other words, the processing circuit 110 compares the luminance distribution diagram 602 with the first threshold value 504, and compares the part of the luminance distribution diagram 602 whose luminance value is lower than the first threshold value 504 (in the range indicated by the mark W2 ) ) is regarded as the first imaging range of the two pointers 102 in the image sensing window 400 of the image sensing device 106 . The first imaging range is the approximate imaging range of the two pointers 102 .

请继续参照图7,在取得前述的比对范围后,处理电路110会根据此比对范围中的影像信息产生第二门槛值,以便比较此比对范围中的影像信息与第二门槛值,进而找出这些指示物110的实际成像范围。以下将进一步说明第二门槛值的产生方式。Please continue to refer to FIG. 7 , after obtaining the aforementioned comparison range, the processing circuit 110 will generate a second threshold value according to the image information in the comparison range, so as to compare the image information in the comparison range with the second threshold value, Furthermore, the actual imaging ranges of these pointers 110 are found. The method of generating the second threshold will be further described below.

在此例中,处理电路110从亮度分布图602中对应于上述比对范围(即第一成像范围)的曲线段(即在范围W2内之曲线段)中取得一个最低点。而由于此例的A点与B点皆为最低点,因此处理电路110会在这两点中任取一点。然后,处理电路110便在第一门槛值504与此最低点(A点或B点)的对应亮度之间再设定第二门槛值。而在此例中,处理电路110以上述的最低点所对应的行像素的亮度总值为基准而再增加一预定亮度来取得上述第二门槛值,此第二门槛值一如图7的标示702所示。In this example, the processing circuit 110 obtains a minimum point from the curve segment (ie, the curve segment within the range W 2 ) corresponding to the comparison range (ie, the first imaging range) in the brightness distribution diagram 602 . Since point A and point B in this example are both the lowest points, the processing circuit 110 will randomly select one of these two points. Then, the processing circuit 110 sets a second threshold value between the first threshold value 504 and the brightness corresponding to the lowest point (point A or point B). In this example, the processing circuit 110 adds a predetermined brightness based on the total brightness value of the row of pixels corresponding to the lowest point to obtain the second threshold value. The second threshold value is as shown in FIG. 7 702 shown.

在取得上述第二门槛值702后,处理电路110便比较亮度分布图602对应于比对范围的曲线段与第二门槛值702,用以撷取这两个指示物的物件影像。在此例中,处理电路110将此曲线段中亮度总值低于第二门槛值702的部分所对应的行像素的分布范围,视为上述这两个指示物102在影像感测装置106的影像感测窗400中的第二成像范围。而此第二成像范围就是这两个指示物102的实际成像范围。换句话说,处理电路110可依据第二门槛值702而在亮度分布图602中取到两个低于第二门槛值702的曲线段,进而将这两个曲线段所对应的行像素的分布范围视为这两个指示物102在影像感测装置106的影像感测窗400中的实际成像范围。简明地说,就是撷取比对范围中小于第二门槛值702的影像信息作为这两个指示物的物件影像。如此,处理电路110便能依据这两个指示物102的实际成像范围来进一步取得对应的两个感测路线的直线方程式。After obtaining the above-mentioned second threshold value 702 , the processing circuit 110 compares the curve segment corresponding to the comparison range of the brightness distribution graph 602 with the second threshold value 702 to capture object images of the two pointers. In this example, the processing circuit 110 regards the distribution range of the row pixels corresponding to the portion of the curve segment where the total brightness value is lower than the second threshold value 702 as the distance between the above-mentioned two pointers 102 in the image sensing device 106 The second imaging range in the image sensing window 400 . The second imaging range is the actual imaging range of the two pointers 102 . In other words, the processing circuit 110 can obtain two curve segments lower than the second threshold value 702 in the luminance distribution map 602 according to the second threshold value 702 , and then calculate the distribution of the row pixels corresponding to the two curve segments. The range is regarded as the actual imaging range of the two pointers 102 in the image sensing window 400 of the image sensing device 106 . Briefly speaking, image information smaller than the second threshold value 702 in the comparison range is captured as the object images of the two indicators. In this way, the processing circuit 110 can further obtain the linear equations of the corresponding two sensing routes according to the actual imaging ranges of the two pointers 102 .

同理,处理电路110与影像感测装置108之间的操作也可按照处理电路110与影像感测装置106之间的操作来进行,以进一步取得另外两个感测路线的直线方程式。然后,处理电路110就能依照这四个直线方程式来进一步取得这两个指示物102的坐标。而由以上说明可知,即便上述这两个指示物102相当靠近彼此,本发明的光学触控系统还是能够准确地找出这两个指示物102的物件影像(即实际成像范围),进而计算出这两个指示物102的实际坐标。因此,本发明的光学触控系统便可较准确地进行多点触碰的坐标定位。Similarly, the operations between the processing circuit 110 and the image sensing device 108 can also be performed according to the operations between the processing circuit 110 and the image sensing device 106 to further obtain the linear equations of the other two sensing routes. Then, the processing circuit 110 can further obtain the coordinates of the two pointers 102 according to the four linear equations. As can be seen from the above description, even if the above-mentioned two pointers 102 are quite close to each other, the optical touch system of the present invention can still accurately find the object images of the two pointers 102 (that is, the actual imaging range), and then calculate The actual coordinates of the two pointers 102 . Therefore, the optical touch system of the present invention can more accurately perform multi-touch coordinate positioning.

虽然在此例中,处理电路110是以点A或点B所对应的行像素的亮度总值为基准而再增加一预定亮度来取得上述第二门槛值702(其为直线),然而处理电路110也可以是从背景影像所取得的亮度分布图依照另一预设百分比来取得另一门槛值(其为曲线),以便取代亮度门槛值702。当然,上述用来取代门槛值702的另一门槛值会位于点A(或点B)与第一门槛值504之间。此外,处理电路110也可以感测影像的亮度分布图在上述比对范围中之最低亮度值来作为第二门槛值。另外,在处理电路110通过计算背景影像的每行像素的亮度值而得到一亮度分布图后,便可先将此亮度分布图记录下来,如此便不需一再重复这样的操作。另外,处理电路110也可以是通过其中一影像感测装置取得背景影像,然后再通过另一影像感测装置取得感测影像。Although in this example, the processing circuit 110 obtains the above-mentioned second threshold value 702 (which is a straight line) by adding a predetermined brightness based on the total brightness value of the row of pixels corresponding to point A or point B, the processing circuit 110 may also be to obtain another threshold value (which is a curve) from the brightness distribution map obtained from the background image according to another preset percentage, so as to replace the brightness threshold value 702 . Of course, another threshold value used to replace the threshold value 702 will be located between the point A (or point B) and the first threshold value 504 . In addition, the processing circuit 110 may also sense the lowest brightness value of the brightness distribution map of the image in the comparison range as the second threshold value. In addition, after the processing circuit 110 obtains a brightness distribution diagram by calculating the brightness value of each row of pixels of the background image, the brightness distribution diagram can be recorded first, so that such operations do not need to be repeated again and again. In addition, the processing circuit 110 can also obtain the background image through one of the image sensing devices, and then obtain the sensing image through another image sensing device.

此外,借助上述的教示,本领域具有通常知识者应当知道即使物件影像撷取装置101仅包含一个影像感测装置及一个处理电路,此物件影像撷取装置101仍可执行上述取得指示物的物件影像的操作,并可准确地撷取多个指示物各自的物件影像。值得一提的是,本例的各反光元件皆可以采用回复反射材质(retro-reflective material)来制作,以达到更好的效果。此外,本例的各反光元件皆可以发光元件来进行替换,只要使各发光元件皆朝着触控表面118而发光即可。In addition, with the help of the above teachings, those skilled in the art should know that even if the object image capture device 101 only includes an image sensing device and a processing circuit, the object image capture device 101 can still perform the above-mentioned object acquisition of the pointer. The image operation can accurately capture the respective object images of multiple pointers. It is worth mentioning that each reflective element in this example can be made of retro-reflective material to achieve a better effect. In addition, each reflective element in this example can be replaced by a light emitting element, as long as each light emitting element emits light toward the touch surface 118 .

Referring to FIG. 8 , the image sensing device 800 includes an infrared (infra-red, IR) illuminating device 802 , an infrared filter device 804 that only allows infrared rays to pass through, and a photosensor (photosensor) 806 . The light sensor 806 obtains the image of the touch surface 118 through the infrared filter device 804 and is coupled to the processing circuit 110 . In addition, the infrared illuminating device 802 can be realized by using an infrared light-emitting diode (IR LED), and the infrared filtering device 804 can be realized by using an infrared filter (IR-pass filter).

借助上述的教示,还可归纳出一种撷取指示物的物件影像的方法,一如图9所示。图9为依照本发明一实施例的撷取指示物的物件影像的方法的流程图,适用于一光学触控系统。所述光学触控系统包括有触控表面与影像感测装置。其中,影像感测装置用以感测触控表面的影像。此方法包括有下列步骤:当一指示物邻近触控表面时,利用影像感测装置取得一感测影像,并将此感测影像中的全部或部分信息与第一门槛值进行比较,以找出一比对范围(如步骤S902所示);根据此比对范围中的影像信息产生第二门槛值(如步骤S904所示);以及比较上述比对范围中的影像信息与第二门槛值,用以撷取指示物的物件影像(如步骤S906所示)。With the help of the above teachings, a method for capturing the object image of the pointer can also be summarized, as shown in FIG. 9 . FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a method for capturing an object image of a pointer according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is applicable to an optical touch system. The optical touch system includes a touch surface and an image sensing device. Wherein, the image sensing device is used for sensing the image of the touch surface. The method includes the following steps: when an indicator is close to the touch surface, use the image sensing device to obtain a sensing image, and compare all or part of the information in the sensing image with the first threshold value to find out Create a comparison range (as shown in step S902); generate a second threshold value according to the image information in the comparison range (as shown in step S904); and compare the image information in the comparison range with the second threshold value , for capturing the object image of the pointer (as shown in step S906).

综上所述,本发明的光学触控系统乃是利用两个不同的门槛值来找出多个指示物的物件影像(即实际成像范围)。在实际的操作方式中,处理电路先利用第一门槛值来找出多个指示物在影像感测装置的影像感测窗中的概略成像范围,此概略成像范围即是需要进一步进行比对的比对范围。接着,处理电路再根据前述比对范围中的影像信息产生第二门槛值,以便比较前述比对范围中的影像信息与第二门槛值,进而撷取出这些指示物的物件影像,也就是找出这些指示物的实际成像范围。如此一来,便可依据实际成像范围进一步计算上述这些指示物的坐标。To sum up, the optical touch system of the present invention uses two different threshold values to find object images (ie, actual imaging ranges) of multiple pointers. In the actual operation mode, the processing circuit first uses the first threshold value to find out the approximate imaging ranges of the multiple pointers in the image sensing window of the image sensing device, and the approximate imaging ranges need to be further compared. Compare range. Then, the processing circuit generates a second threshold value according to the image information in the comparison range, so as to compare the image information in the comparison range with the second threshold value, and then extract the object images of these indicators, that is, find out The actual imaging range of these indicators. In this way, the coordinates of the above indicators can be further calculated according to the actual imaging range.

因此,只要上述第二门槛值的大小设计适当,那么处理电路就能准确地找出这些指示物的物件影像,进而计算出这些指示物的实际坐标。Therefore, as long as the size of the second threshold value is properly designed, the processing circuit can accurately find the object images of these indicators, and then calculate the actual coordinates of these indicators.
